In Dubai, the boys park their cars (it was always a supercar like a Lamborghini or Ferrari that was bought by their dad) close to anywhere there’s a group of girls sitting, roll down their windows and say shit like “the first one who gets inside gets a free diamond necklace.” They don’t even bother with niceties. They…

I hope you don’t mind me saying this, but that’s f*cking awesome. My cousin is set to wed next July (he’s 25, she’s 38) and honestly, I think it’s fantastic and I’ve never seen a happier couple. May all of us have the chance to wed a younger man.

Sure, but I think it’s an outlier in real life but a common trope in movies. For example, Tom Cruise gets paired up with way younger actresses all the time without it being an issue. Whereas the only time the actress is older is when it’s a part of the plot line. Most relationships have an age difference of 3-7 years,…

I love this new version of the male apology: the one that invokes pity on the person apologizing rather than the actual victims.

I made this movie where duffzilla lives his whole pathetic life trolling women on twitter and then dies all sad and alone.

I’m of the view there’s no appropriate time to release a film like this and maybe we can stop making films that pedal the fantasy that any teenage girl would be interested in gross older guys altogether. The fantasy is entirely ONE-SIDED.

It’s kind of amazing how Weiner’s implosion during the election meant New Yorkers got the opportunity to have a more emotionally mature, progressive mayor at the helm. And they seem to like him for the most part.

Obama visited wounded vets so frequently the hawks in his administration were afraid it was turning him anti-war.

I feel like she looks her best when she’s not trying.

Regardless of what happens in 2020, I wouldn’t be surprised if Khamenei has decided Iran will pursue nuclear weapons in the long term.

The way he lets people just speak and not interrupt is such a rare quality in reporters these days. His interview of Syrian refugees in Lebanon was just awesome.

That was my favorite episode. I was in Lebanon at the time, and seeing members of my family from different political persuasions (pro-Hezbollah, pro-Hariri, etc.) all come out thinking his commentary was fair is a rare sight.

Ben Affleck seems to have been the perfect choice for Nick in Gone Girl.

My mom managed to get through (medical school) because my dad drove taxis at night and took care of me as a baby in the morning. He had something like 4 hours of sleep every day. He continued to do this even after my sister was born. After her program finished, she was able to pay for him to go back to school.

My dad says he’s the best foreign correspondent on CNN and I think he’s right.

How utterly invincible do you think you have to be to grope Terry Crews in public and in front of his wife without any repercussions? What kind of sick, deranged power move is that?

Professor Hawking on IQ tests:

My mother went to American University in Beirut for medical school in the early 90s. There was one associate dean (who had been working there for nearly 20 years and was basically a legend in his field) who only invited female students to his house on weekends/holidays for dinner. Everyone just said it was his way of…

It’s a shame he’s such a raging asshole because I honestly think he’s a great supporting actor.

It’s amazing she’s a full decade older than him (a professional athlete in peak physical condition) and doesn’t look it. Also, Pique would get it.
